Three hours from the time of the crime until an Amber Alert was issued would be warp speed.

Ok. I didn't know that. Just seems to me that the first two hours after an abduction are the most crucial. And while I realize they can't put out an Amber Alert every time a kid is late for dinner, in this particular case there were collateral crimes along with the abduction.

It sounds like the local cops spread out to find her asap. It took a little while longer (the three hour gap) to issue an Amber Alert.

Given the violence of the attacks on her mother and brother, I am VERY concerned about her welfare.
